This is great info. Thank you! I was at the range last night and noticed I was going low and left. A friend pointed out I was anticipating. As soon as I settled down and really focused on being "surprised", my groupings got tight again. I really need to train myself out of that!It is different for many people.

Edited to add: This is where dry fire with a laser of some sort is a great tool. I am a big fan of the Laserlyte cartridge inserts (LINK) but there are others as well. You get immediate feedback and can troubleshoot techniques like this without expending ammo or introducing other factors like recoil management.
You can accomplish nearly the same practice by dry firing and being very careful to not upset the sights during the trigger pull. You do not get the verification of POI but it is an alternative if buying a laser is not an option.
Is it just me, or do none of those handguns in the pics look aligned with the bones of the forearm?
Focus is key and understanding the physics of recoil along with a mechanical knowledge of how guns operate are vital. I'd be cautious in the mindset of being "surprised" when the gun is fired. I'd rather know exactly WHEN it is going to fire instead. Follow your front sight through the recoil and really feel the slide cycle if you can. It takes time, keep at it!
